The Black Set is a medium armor set in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Attire of the three mentors of the Sable Church of Londor.
- These maidens of a Primordial Serpent were renowned as founders of the Sable Church, which offered salvation for Hollows.
- It is apparent that the women in black were highly skilled fencers, capable of founding the Sable Church between just the three of them.
Availability[]
- Sold by the Shrine Handmaid for a total of 18,000 souls upon Yuria of Londor's death.
- Alternatively, the whole set can be found, along with Darkdrift, at Yuria's location in Firelink Shrine if she was summoned for and survived the fight against Soul of Cinder.
Characteristics[]
The Black Set is very well-rounded across the board, providing good physical absorption and high elemental defenses, all while being one of the lighter sets in the medium category.
It is notably stronger against slash attacks, but is susceptible to thrust and strike damage. Being a set from the darkened land of Londor, it offers a very high resistance to the Undead Curse and the Dark, but is quite vulnerable to Magic.
The set's greatest weakness is that it provides very little Poise, comparable to what is normally found on light cloth armor sets. For this reason, its components are generally not optimal gear should one wish to wield large Hyper Armor weapons.
